Horses require intensive training to be solved with expertise in the popular square. The "bot" functions as a technique in Menorca. This technique is learned by following learning tactics for which the horse has to be perfectly able to interpret his mouth and promptly get the information through the bite or leg movements of cavaller.
Many sessions are needed special training to remove the fear that a horse can feel when it is stuck in the middle of this maelstrom of crowds and noise.
